BECU has lost their focus.

Pros

Excellent benefits and competitive pay.

Cons

Stopped pension for new hires Extremely political. They boast about their 49% internal hire rate for operations division… but I know for a fact that is not reflected in fraud operations. They are consistently turning down internal employees for out of state with “more experience” but we all know it’s because it’s cheaper. Can’t maintain focus. So many big projects over the years halted. Strategy changes. Sudden acquisition of another credit union when we’re already so unstable on our own growth and vision. Goals are consistently changed halfway through the year or delayed until it’s too late in the year to achieve them. Each year, the incentives get smaller and small smaller, but the executives never take a cut of their incentive. Only one vice president spoke up and said that they should cut their incentive if everyone else has to… The remainder of the team disagreed and wanted to keep their full bonus. That speaks volumes to the character behind senior leadership.

Worst place ever to work

Pros

The pay was very good.

Cons

No direction on what needed to be accomplished. Very hostile management that didn’t really want to hear your point of view. Nobody knew their line of business well enough to communicate or anticipate project requirements. Insufficient systems to meet business needs. Everyday felt like it might be your last.

Thank you for taking the time to share your perspective. We appreciate your honesty and the thought you’ve put into outlining both what worked well and what didn’t during your experience. It’s good to hear that you found the pay competitive — compensation is an important part of feeling valued, and we’re glad that aspect met your expectations. Your advice to leadership — to clarify goals, strengthen strategy, and provide consistent direction — is well taken. While change and growth can be complex, ensuring employees understand the “why” and “how” behind decisions is essential to maintaining trust and alignment. Thank you again for sharing your experience. Even when perspectives differ, your feedback helps identify areas where greater clarity, stability, and collaboration can strengthen the organization moving forward.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We appreciate your honesty and the care it shows for both the organization and the people who work here. It’s encouraging to hear that you find the pay and benefits competitive — that’s something we take pride in, and we’re glad it’s made a positive difference. That said, your comments about leadership instability and the lack of psychological safety are deeply concerning. We understand that while experiences may vary, your feedback is an important reminder of how critical transparency, accountability, and respect are to maintaining a positive culture. Your advice to address leadership behavior and rebuild trust is heard. Real change takes consistent action — not just words — and that includes ensuring that all employees, regardless of level, model the organization’s values of respect and integrity. Thank you again for sharing your perspective. Even when feedback is difficult, it helps guide meaningful reflection and improvement, and we’re committed to continuing that work.
